Mismatched Audio Equipment

[Mick]

Hey i have alot of old school Kicker audio equipment that is all mismatched and i want your opinions on what to do, i will start off by giving you a list of what i have:

1 x Kicker ZR1000 amp

3 x Kicker ZR240 amp

1 x Kicker RS6 Splits 100wrms

1 x Kicker S10L7 Sub 600wrms

Now my main problem is that i carnt get the right amount if amps to my speakers cos of the wrong ohms, here are the specs:

ZR1000

4ohm Stereo 250x2

2ohm Stereo 500x2

1ohm Stereo 350x2

4ohm Bridged 1000x1

2.66ohm Bridged 1000x1

2ohm Bridged 700x1

ZR240

4ohm Stereo 60x2

2ohm Stereo 120x2

1ohm Stereo 150x2

4ohm Bridged 240x1

2.66ohm Bridged 300x1

2ohm Bridged 300x1

My sub is a dual2 unfortinatly so i can make it a 1ohm or a 4ohm sub and as you can see from the specs the closest i could get for the sub is to use 1 channel of the ZR1000 at 1ohms giving it 350w instead of the 600 it needs and the closest i can get my splits is using the ZR240 at 4ohm stereo giving it 60w instead of the 100w they need. Anyone who knows about these ZR series amps know that they are underrated by kicker and come with a birth certificate showing what it actually got when tested so i only want to put what the amp is rated at into them cos they are underrated. For example one of the ZR240 birth certificate has that it put out 373w at 4ohm bridged instead of 240w. I dont have the birth certificate for the ZR1000 unfortinatly, i would have loved to see what it put out.

Anyways as you can see it is all mismatched so what would you suggest i do?

and yes it is weird that the ZR1000 puts out less at 2ohms bridged than at 4ohms bridged but it is right and not a typo lol

2 new S10L7's at the right ohms would run awesome on the ZR1000, 1 on each channel and i know that this amp would be putting out way more than the 500 stated for each channel just like the birth certificated state on the ZR240.

Another problem is that these old school kicker amps arnt as efficent at the new class d ones so it will draw lots of power from my car

anyone have ideas?
